Use and Care

How to use your oven

This multi-function oven combines the advantages of traditional convection ovens with modern fan assisted ovens in a single appliance. It is an extremely versatile appliance that allows you to choose easily and safely between different cooking modes. The various cooking modes are selected by means of a function knob, located on the control panel.

The oven comes with a soft close door feature which will only operate correctly when sufficient initial force is applied when closing. Should insufficient force be applied, the door may need to be closed manually.

To operate the oven:

· Turn the Divider Select knob to the desired setting (explanation of the modes are on page 19)

· Set the desired cooking function mode and the cooking temperature.

The first time you use your appliance, we recommend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting, set the function selection knob to a cooking mode and leave the oven on for about half an hour with nothing in it and the oven door closed. Then, open the oven door and allow the oven to cool. Any odour that may be detected during this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances used to protect the oven during storage.

Note: Place tray on the bottom shelf position of the oven to prevent any spillages from dripping onto the bottom of the oven. Never

place anything (including foil and oven trays) on the bottom of the oven when it is in operation because this could damage the enamel. Only place your cookware (dishes, trays, aluminum

foil, etc.) on the oven shelves provided with the appliance.

If supplied, use the chrome wire handle when removing the tray from the oven.

Use and Care

Positioning the oven trays & shelves

The Grill Tray or Oven Shelf can be located in any of the five height positions in the oven.

Refer to the ‘Cooking Guide Table’ for the recommended shelf position. When fitting the trays or shelves, ensure they are fitted between the two wires that are closest together as shown below. Oven Shelves have a stop so that they are not fully withdrawn by accident. To fully remove the Oven Shelves, lift the front of the shelf slightly and withdraw fully from the oven. Note that the Grill Tray does not have a stop position and can be fully withdrawn without interruption, so be careful not to accidentally fully withdraw the tray.

To remove the Oven Shelf Support, push down on the wire below the locking pin, pull away from the oven wall until you can release the top of the support from the holes in the oven wall. Replace in reverse procedure.

Use and Care

PRACTICAL COOKING ADVICE

The oven offers a wide range of settings which allow you to cook any type of food in the best possible way. With time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile cooking appliance and the following directions are only a guideline which may be varied according to your own personal experience.

Preheating

If the oven needs to be preheated, the ‘Conventional’ mode or ‘Fan Forced/Convection’ mode should be selected. These are the most efficient modes, which will reach the desired temperature as quickly as possible using the least amount of energy.

Once the food has been placed in the oven, the desired cooking mode should then be selected.

Multi shelf cooking

If you want to cook food on several shelves, select the ‘Fan Forced/Convection’ mode or or as this is the only cooking mode that allows you to do so.

The ‘Fan Forced’ mode allows you to cook delicate foods on 3 shelves at the same time. Refer to the ‘Cooking Guide’ table.

When cooking other food on several racks, use the ‘Multi-Cooking’ mode keeping the following suggestions in mind:

· The oven is fitted with 5 racks. During fan assisted cooking, use

two of the three central racks; the lowest and highest racks receive the hot air directly and therefore delicate foodstuffs could be burnt on these racks.

· As a general rule, use the 2nd and 4th rack from the bottom,

placing the foods that require greater heat on the 2nd rack from the bottom. For example, when cooking meat roasts together with other food, place the roast on the 2nd rack from the bottom and the more delicate food on the 4th rack from the bottom.

· When cooking foods that require differing times and

temperatures, set a temperature that is somewhere between the two temperatures required, place the more delicate food on the 4th rack from the bottom and take the food requiring less time out of the oven first.

· Use the drip pan on the lower rack and the grid on the upper.

Use and Care

Using the grill

This multi-function oven has 3 different grilling modes.

Use the ‘Fan Assisted Grill / Grill’ modes

with the oven door closed, place the food on the centre of the grill pan, insert and fit the grill pan on either the 3rd or 4th shelf from the bottom.

When using ‘Grill’ mode, we recommend you set the thermostat to 240°C. However, this does not mean you cannot use lower temperatures, simply adjust the thermostat to the desired temperature.

Use ‘Fan assisted grill’ mode with the oven door closed. This mode is very useful for grilling foods rapidly, as the distribution of heat by the fan makes it possible not only to brown the surface, but also to cook the bottom of the food. It can also be used for browning foods at the end of the cooking process, such as adding that gratin finish to pasta bakes for example.

When using ‘Fan assisted grill’ mode, place the food on the 2nd or 3rd oven shelf from the bottom, then place a dripping-pan on the 1st rack from the bottom to prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the oven floor. We recommend you set the thermostat to 200°C, as it is the most efficient temperature for ‘Fan assisted grill’ mode. However, this does not mean you cannot use lower temperatures, simply adjust the thermostat to the desired temperature.

Important: for best results and to save energy, always use the ‘Fan assisted grill’ with the oven door closed.

Use and Care

Baking cakes

When baking cakes ,always place them in a preheated oven. Make sure you wait until the oven has been preheated thoroughly (the indicator light will turn off). To prevent heat loss and the cake from dropping, do not open the oven door during baking.

In general...

... if pastry is too dry

Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the cooking time.

... if pastry has dropped

Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.

... if pastry is too dark on top

Place it on a lower shelf, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time.

... if cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside

Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time.

... if the pastry sticks to the pan

Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of flour or use greaseproof paper.

... if I used multi shelf cooking and one shelf is more cooked

Use a lower temperature setting next time. It is not necessary to remove the food from all the racks at the same time.

Use and Care

Cooking pizza

For best results when cooking pizza, use the ‘Conventional’ mode or ‘Fan Forced/Convection’ mode .

· Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes.

· Use a light aluminum pizza pan, placing it on the shelf supplied

with the oven. Don’t use the dripping pan since this will extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a crispy crust.

· Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza is cooking;

· If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three or four), we recommend

you add the mozzarella cheese on top halfway through the cooking process.

· For best results, only use one shelf at a time, but if you want to

cook on two shelves, use the 2nd and 4th racks from the bottom with a temperature of 220°C and swap them halfway through cooking after having preheated the oven for at least 10 minutes.

Cooking fish and meat

When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use a temperature setting from 180°C to 200°C.

For red meat that you want well done on the outside while tender and juicy in the inside, it is best to start with a high temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time, then turn the oven down afterwards.

In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature setting. Place the meat on the centre of the shelf and place the dripping pan beneath it to catch the fat.

Make sure that the shelf is inserted so that it is in the centre of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of heat from below, use a lower shelf height. For savoury roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat with lard or bacon on the top.
